Avulux Migraine Glasses
A Different Approach to Light Sensitivity.
For people with migraine, everyday light can be anything but ordinary. Avulux® lenses are designed to precisely filter harmful blue, amber, and red light while allowing soothing green light through. The result is better light quality without simply making everything darker.
Built on more than a decade of research, Avulux gives practitioners another option for helping patients whose lives are affected by migraine-related light sensitivity.

Could Avulux Help Your Patient?
Light sensitivity can show up differently from one patient to the next. Avulux may be worth considering for patients who:
- Ask you to dim the lights or keep sunglasses on indoors
- Point to screens, fluorescent lighting, or bright sun as what brings on or worsens an attack
- Describe glare, flicker, or harsh lighting as a daily trigger they plan their schedule around
- Already have a migraine care plan in place, but still lose time to light
- Have tried generic tints or blue-light lenses and did not get meaningful relief
Avulux lenses precisely filter harmful blue, amber, and red light while allowing soothing green light through, delivering 2x better light quality. FDA granted De Novo classification to Avulux, as an over-the-counter Class I medical device. Avulux is available in single vision, progressive, or non-prescription options.
Indication: For patients age 12 and older diagnosed with episodic migraine, Avulux is indicated to decrease the impact of light sensitivity. Use alongside usual care; its use should not alter medication usage.

Helping People with Migraines Find Relief
The Avulux lens family is built around precision light filtration, with options designed for different parts of a patient's day.
Clinically proven lens for Migraine & Light Sensitivity
For everyday migraine and light sensitivity management.
The original Avulux lens precisely filters harmful blue, amber, and red wavelengths while preserving soothing green light. Unlike conventional light-management lenses that simply darken what the wearer sees, Avulux selectively manages specific wavelengths of light while maintaining better overall light quality. Available in single vision, progressive, and non-prescription options.
Avulux comfort, inside and out

Avulux Adapt combines the filtration of the original Avulux lens with photochromic technology. Indoors, Adapt matches the spectral curve of the clinically proven Avulux lens. Outdoors, exposure to UV light activates the lens, causing it to darken and provide additional protection from harsh light. When your patient comes back inside, the lens quickly returns to standard Avulux clarity.
Outdoor vision, the Avulux way
Outdoor vision, the Avulux way.
For patients who spend more time outside, Avulux Atlas adds glare reduction to Avulux's precision filtration. Designed for bright outdoor environments, Atlas helps reduce harsh reflected light from surfaces such as water, roads, snow, and glass while maintaining the light-filtering characteristics of Avulux. It's a strong option for outdoor activities where sunlight and glare can make light sensitivity even more difficult to manage.
The Science
How Avulux WoRks
Historical migraine treatments
For years, options for patients with severe light sensitivity were limited. Dark sunglasses may provide temporary comfort, but wearing them continuously indoors can contribute to dark adaptation, making the eyes increasingly accustomed to darkness. FL-41 tints offered another approach and were originally developed to reduce the effects of fluorescent light flicker.
Research into migraine and light sensitivity has since helped us understand that the wavelength of light matters, not simply how bright or dark the environment is.
What the research found
In a 2016 study, researchers assessed 69 patients during untreated migraine attacks and exposed them to different colors of light. White, blue, amber, and red light increased migraine headache pain, while low-intensity green light produced a different response.
That research helped inform a more precise approach to managing light rather than simply making a lens darker.
Precision Filtration
What Avulux targets
Avulux uses patented nano-molecular technology to selectively filter specific wavelengths of light while allowing soothing green light through.
Its filtration targets wavelengths associated with:
- Melanopsin activation
- Larger electrical signals that contribute to pain signaling through optic nerve
This selective approach allows Avulux to manage potentially problematic wavelengths without unnecessarily blocking the full spectrum of visible light.
